 * I have a faulty WordPress language. I want to change the language from English
   to Dutch, and whatever I do, it keeps displaying English.
 * I have tried changing the language in admin, the select may say Dutch, but WP
   is still in English.
 * WPLANG in my database says: nl_BE
 * In the update-core.php, WordPress still says en_US even though I have copied 
   a NL installation over the old files.
 * Please help, I can’t fully reinstall WP, too much custom content.

 * May be a cache issue.
 * Try flushing any caching plugins you might be running, as well as server and/

   but any op cache or content network cache as well [such as Cloudflare](https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200169246-How-do-I-purge-my-cache-).
   If your host provider has a “Purge Varnish” option or if you can ask your provider
   to flush memcache on your server.

 * The nl_be translation is fairly new, like beginning of this year. So, the major
   plugins are not yet translated which means it will reflect english. But is the
   post module also english? Cause that should be translated. Try nl_nl…
